Subject: [9fans] Namespace inheritance between processes
Date: Sat, 21 May 2016 00:26:42 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CANLPe+NQQ1u3nsKfUkmRaWSTuCkQuc2nVUDd4h7070RikHZWmw@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi 9 fans,

I'm trying to figure out how namespace inheritance between process groups works.

Let's say I have a process A which forks a child process B with the
RFNAMEG so it receives a copy of A's namespace.

If process A then makes a change to its namespace, will process B see
that change? Or does B receive a distinct copy that A then can't
change?

Thanks!

Best,
Casey
